Hungry for Her Mates, Out now!

Hungry for Her Mates, available here (http://www.bookstrand.com/hungry-for-her-mates), is out today! It is my newest shifter book in the series Wolfs Pass Shifters. It has magic, men, and mystery, the three great M's! Don't miss this exciting new read.

Gabrielle "Gabby" Caldwell is going crazy waiting on her mates to claim her. Her wolf is retreating, believing they have rejected her. Levi and Aaron Shoewater want Gabrielle as their mate, but something is blocking Levi’s mating heat. Without it, his wolf won’t mark her, and they’re slowly losing Gabrielle while they search for the answer.

To make matters worse, humans are using magic to invade their land and take their wolves. As future Alpha, Levi feels pressured to stop them and capture whoever is helping them, but what about his mate?

An old ally is called on for help, but while the three sisters who arrive are able to counter the magic the humans have stirred up, they prove to cause a stir of their own. Levi and Aaron must hold their pack together despite their private issue with claiming their mate. The answers are right in front of them, but sometimes good intentions cause more problems in the long run.

Hard Stories

Sometimes the books that jump at me to write are hard to write. Something about them is either personal to me or to something I believe in. My new series, Wounded Warriors, is that type of series that burns in my soul. Its been on my mind for a long time, but this is the first book in the series to finally be finished.

Today I'll be writing those last two words that hits every writer in the heart. The End. The funny thing, is that it isn't the end really, but the beginning.

With this first book, a group of lives that are often ignored will come alive for us to hear their stories and learn about their hopes and dreams and how they were temporarily squashed. Temporarily because you can't keep a good man or woman down and because everyone deserves a happy ending. In these books, at least, they will have their HEA.

Sometimes being a writer means delving into the harder subjects and this is one of those that some great authors have addressed. Beth Williamson and Lorelei James are two that I think about here with their books that touched my heart. I hope that I can do half as well as they did with their stories.

Remember when you read one of these books that even though all my books will have a happy ending, not all lives get that HEA. It's one of the reasons I became a writer, to be able to always have a book I can disappear in for a few hours in order to live a HEA. Because as everyone knows, life can be hard and often is.

Where Is My Sunshine?

I'm desperate here. Tired of cloudy nasty days. I need the sun to come out and fill me up with energy. Its hard to think and plan when all you see is doom and gloom on the horizon. Spring, where is your brightly colored rainbow with all of its new life? Hurry up and explode across the sky to chase away the dreary world I'm stuck in.

Ever feel like this? I'm a solar powered kinda woman. I need the sunshine. Love a roaring thunderstorm to blow through a lazy afternoon or wake me in the middle of the night, but they are volatile and only last a short time. These long drawn out dull cloudy days stretch on and on until I'm ready to crawl under the covers and hide.

So here I sit, arguing with myself to just get over it already and write. I've got all the lights on around me to make it feel sunny and my manly inspiration pictures posted on my hunk board. I have no excuses, yet even closing the blinds so I can't see the depressing landscape before me, I know it is there.

Perhaps it is a fitting backdrop for the deeply emotional book I'm writing anyway. It is my challenge to bring them out of the place they've fallen in to one where happiness is found and dreams come true.

My ode to Edgar Allen Poe in a feeble attempt to mimic his depressing writings that always gave me the shivers when I read them. His birthday was the other day. I'm late as usual.

I wonder...

Hey everyone.
As I write, sometimes I wonder. Wonder what, you might ask. Well, I wonder if I'm doing enough to connect to my readers. Writing isn't all about making money. It's about creating a distraction for the reader from the problems of their lives. I want to create books that really touch people.
Contact me on Facebook, Twitter, my website, or e-mail. I really want to know what my readers want and think about my books.
